As the library finishes up it's year, the kids enjoy a popcorn reward party for returning their books. There was a lot of popcorn eaten and lots of fun Minute-to-Win-It challenges. Ms. Carr and Ms. Naylor's classes tied for the paper airplane challenge, a favorite of the students.

That's a wrap! Thanks to all the teachers and parents for making kindergarten so fabulous this year. Get ready first grade....here they come!

Swing your partner and do-si-do! The fourth graders put on quite the assembly for our students and parents. They sang songs about our great state of Utah and then our librarian, Cheryl Thurgood, was a great caller for some fun square dancing. 

The fifth graders were able to participate in the Hope of America event. This event brings together thousands of fifth grade students to sing patriotic songs while wearing red, white, blue and gold and forming the shape of the American Flag. Today the students were able to hear the songs the fifth graders sang at the event. Great job fifth grade!

Kindergarten Field Day was a huge hit!  The students let loose and had fun with all their friends. They enjoyed a variety of events, games, and competitions. What a great end of year celebration for our Kindergarten!

Our orchestra put on an assembly for the school this week.  It was fabulous! They performed an array of music from all different genres. They have worked so hard and it really showed. They are each on their way to becoming distinguished musicians! Great Job!

Our very own Dyan Gordon was the recipient of the Nebo School District PEAK Award! The PEAK (Positive Energy and Kindness) Award is presented monthly to someone in the Nebo School District who "really gets it" when it comes to providing exceptional customer service. We are so happy and lucky to have Dyan at Mapleton Elementary, this award was well deserved. Congratulations!! 

Our first graders had the chance to celebrate Arbor Day with Mapleton City. They learned the meaning of Arbor Day and the importance of trees. They then put their green thumbs to the test and helped plant a tree in the park.

Each of these students were selected by their teacher as Students of the Month for April. By working hard, respecting others, and being kind, they have been great examples of what Mapleton Mountaineers strive to be. Great job!
